Lazio won’t give up on Mauro Icardi, fresh approach lined up | OneFootball

Lazio have not closed the door on Mauro Icardi. Although negotiations cooled after the initial contacts during the summer transfer window, the Italian club still keeps the Argentine striker among its options and is preparing a new approach in an attempt to move forward with his signing.

According to information from Fichajes.com, a new meeting is planned between Lazio and the representatives of the forward, who is currently a free agent after the end of his spell at Galatasaray.

The Roman club had already opened talks in an attempt to reach a contract agreement until 2028, but the club’s financial limitations ended up slowing the process down.

Icardi remains an option for Gattuso

The need to bring in another striker has not disappeared.

Gennaro Gattuso considers it a priority to have another attacking option, and Icardi’s profile remains attractive because of his experience and ability to play inside the box.

The Italian coach had already identified the position as one of the areas needing reinforcement, and the Argentine was among the names considered during the summer.

Although the talks lost momentum, the interest never completely disappeared.

The Argentine also wants to move to Rome

One of the factors that could make the deal easier is Icardi’s own stance.

The striker would be willing to join Lazio and would welcome a return to Italy, where he already left a significant mark during his time at Inter Milan.

His status as a free agent also allows him to negotiate a contract directly without Lazio having to pay a transfer fee for his rights.

The move could be revived

The situation could change quickly if both parties sit down to negotiate again.

Lazio are enjoying a good start to the season under Gattuso, and the coach wants to take advantage of the moment to strengthen his attack even further.

For that reason, the club could try again to bring in Icardi in the coming months or during the winter transfer window.

A new meeting between the Argentine’s representatives and the Roman club’s board could be the first step toward reviving a deal that seemed to have gone cold, but was never completely ruled out.
